’Go, and catch a falling star,
Get with child a mandrake root,
Tell me, where all past years are,
Or who cleft the Devil's foot,
Teach me to hear mermaids singing,
Or to keep off envy's stinging,
And find
What wind
Serves to advance an honest mind.
If thou be'est born to strange sights,
Things invisible to see,
Ride ten thousand days and nights,
Till age snow white hairs on thee,
Thou, when thou return'st, wilt tell me
All strange wonders that befell thee,
And swear
Nowhere
Lives a woman true, and fair.
If thou find'st one, let me know,
Such a pilgramage were sweet,
Yet do not, I would not go,
Though the next door we might meet,
Though she were true when you met her,
And last, till you write your letter,
Yet she
Will be
False, ere I come, to two, or three.
~John Donne, 1572-1631 |

Hey everyone. Your going to be seeing a lot of this in the next month as I beg my way to my next art show. I really would like to be able to afford a full art panel at Archon, a mid-missouri sci-fi fantasy convention that happens every year in october. It will cost me roughly $150.00 to fund the entire trip, but it's worth every penny to me if it means that I'm getting my artowrk out there and shown to people. I'm not going to be making any profit off the trip- more than likely, because I'm fresh intermediate meat, in the art world. But the action is important to me. So! Here's my idea. I give you art, to show art. I do art, to do more art. It should be a self perpetuation of art. Lots of art. I'll be working on pieces for the show in September, but I'll also be doing these tokens- to tempt my friends, and others, into handing me small amounts of money to pool into my "I need to show my art in an art show." funds. In short, your helping me be an artist. I'm open for buisness. Know anyone who would like something 8x10 or smaller to hang in their home? Maybe a nice 5X7 to have in your office at work? Know anyone would likes sci-fi/fantasy artwork who has a birthday coming up? Feeling extra special nice? Even if you do nothing but offer me words of encouragement, that's awesome. At the very least- I'll be doing a lot of art this month. If you hate seeing my art, then this is a good time for you to ignore my LJ. Without further ado! The two pieces below are both mix media. Watercolor, ink, and pen. The first one is finished and ready to be appreciated for a mere $5. More details next to the pieces in captions. The second piece isn't finished enough to my expectations. Provided that I don't ruin it, it is slightly larger- and will probably be selling anywhere from $7 - $15 dollars. (It depends on how hit turns out.) I'll show you progress on it as it comes along.

Lady of the Wood
This is a small piece, about 4.5 inches X 3 inches.
Made to fix nicely in a store bought 5 X 7 mat, to fit in a 5 X 7 frame.
If you like to support my studio efforts, this piece is for sale- just as is. I am willing to mail, provided that mailing costs are covered. |
 |
Peace Park 1
Not finished yet, but it is designed to fit a 8 X 10 frame and mat. |
Lastly, it was mentioned to me by a few friends that I should put my pay pal donation button up for those who just want to toss a buck in, to help. Certainly, that isn't my design here. I want to provide a service for you. But when I made this argument, they replied that some people feel that the service would be seeing me do something with my art, instead of always waiting. So with that, I humbly provide the button. Anything that you donate will go towards art, which means: Art supplies and shows. On that- I solemnly swear. Also, a visual meter that measures how I'm doing between both Donations and Sales for the final amount needed: If you do donate, make sure you leave me an address so I can personally thank you! I really do appreciate all the love and support I've gotten from family and friends over the years. In all honestly, if it wasn't from you all telling me I'm worth the effort- I wouldn't of even gotten this far. Exciting things to come! temporary displacement: Archon or Bust!

So, as requested, numerous times by my friend ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) regenald here are a few would you rather questions, strait from the card of the would you rather game. This card was a bit of a dud. :) I even left one off because I thought it was too uneven of a choice. Refresher, the point of the game is to predict what the group of people who are voting with you will pick of the two. It's a discussion game, where everyone but the person who is predicting for points gets to discuss the pros and cons of the questions. After the group agrees on one of the two options, the predictor reveals what they thought at the beginning (and wrote down on the slip of paper). Obviously we can't play here on LJ, but the questions are amusing. So vote away, and I'll put up more polls tomorrow. Poll #1123306 01/18/08
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 11 Would you rather... Would you rather... Would you rather... Would you rather...
